    Unidentified Clinking sound..?

    When I check it out from up close I had my ears at tire level so I could tell it was coming from the back end of the car but since I gotta get an oil change done on it and I have ramps how do I check for your solution through the inspection hole underneath the bellhousing? Thanks!

    Unidentified Clinking sound..?

    Car has 47K miles now and it's still running on the OEM brakes. My GF has been driving it a lot lately (she doesn't have a car and I work close) when she does she never takes off TCS. I hear that munches on rear brake pads pretty quickly. I think i'm going to start with a full brakes...

    Unidentified Clinking sound..?

    Ok update # i forgot. I finally observed the car from the outside AND I know think I may have narrowed it down to the BACK of the car. Definitely driver side around the wheel area. Happens when driving really slowly at part throttle (load) ? I'm thinking rear brake pads worn down to the...

    Unidentified Clinking sound..?

    Also mine did it last night after tons of driving and early this morning after a full nights rest so it's not just cold.

    Guy goes for a test drive in a new 5.0

    Yep my car had 70 miles on the clock and the clutch tanked at around 36K miles I wonder how those 70 miles were.. :nonono: Next "new" car I buy will have 1 to 3 miles TOPS.

    Unidentified Clinking sound..?

    Ok let's do this :nice: Sound seems to be coming from front left wheel and/or under the car. Also the noise seems to cut off when I turn the wheel. My suspension bits seem to be in good shape. Everything is there. Last time I checked though I did seem to be getting real close for a brake...

    h pipe

    With an 04 the issue with catalytic converters is a bit different because those particular models have like 2 or 3 cats per side and they don't flow particularly well. With the S197s there is only one cat per cylinder bank and they are good flowing units.

    Unidentified Clinking sound..?

    Well I thought I was going crazy the other night but I heard it loud and clear again. When I go to pull off REALLY slow and basically give it just a SLIGHT gas (barely over idle) the car makes this mostly regular Clinking sound that's loud and clear from inside and outside the car. The only...

    h pipe

    +1 real power in these cars exhaust wise comes from long-tube setups and even those really need F/I to push out good power gains.

    h pipe

    For the most part it is the same thing. If you want to be monstrously technical about it a steel pipe that has been formed without having any cuts and welds inside will have less turbulence then a mandrel bent unit you buy etc. etc. etc. In the real world unless you're willing to do the job...

    New to Stangnet and have a ton of questions

    Camber plates are really nice because they eliminate the problem with strut insulators popping apart when you lower the car AND allow for more precise dialing in of suspension settings..... however they are a bit pricey compared with a set of GT500 insulators and some camber bolts and don't...

    Stock h or high flow h

    I've heard of exhausts that are completely independent but never seen one before. I would think that a big part of the reason why there is a cross over other then any type of scavanging aid is to maintain structure in the exhaust pipes so they don't bounce all over the place.

    New to Stangnet and have a ton of questions

    Well all I can say is save up for a complete suspension system. You already have Steeda sway bars which is a good starting point and it'll save you some money. Most suspension packages already come with sway bars so sounds like to me you could pick up a set of Steeda Ultra Light or Sport...

    Alignment HELP

    I believe -.05 is the correct alignment spec for this car. My car sits exactly at -1.5 and it eats tires like a mofo :)

    Got the FRPP HR cams in

    I wonder how those detroit rockers will work with a centrifugal supercharger. Also UFN I love the way your idle is right now. It's lopey but not excessively that it sounds ratty.

    New to Stangnet and have a ton of questions

    If you like the style a set of takeoff GT500s will give you excellent clearance for big brakes as well as fill your fenders up a little. All while getting tires and Pressure Sensors. An excellent deal which I hope to take advantage of soon.

    New to Stangnet and have a ton of questions

    Congrats! nice car but I gotta tell you 17 inch wheels will limit your possibilities for performance. You'll be forced to run a huge sidewall which will deflect and bounce all over the place when pulling some high sideloads. Also a lot of people here mix and match but I'm a fan of a good...

    Stock h or high flow h

    I was thinking about going with an MRT catted H-pipe but I guess I won't. I really love the sound of my Steeda axle backs, going with an X would ruin the deep rumble the car has which so far sounds like no other mustang I heard. Guess that's money saved there :)

    Lag gone

    I wonder if Brenspeed will try the FRPP intake manifold. Hopefully that yields better returns then the C&L unit.

    Engine coolant additive,which one ??

    Haven't used it myself but I heard plenty of positive reviews on Redline water wetter. Run distilled water a bottle or two of it for a straight up racing mix, or run a mixture of coolant, distilled water and water wetter for street driving.
